The present invention relates to a fine adjustment device for a water supply branch container for potted plants that can supply water.

  Conventionally, in order to supply water to potted plants, generally, a method of using a joro or spraying water from the tip of a hose is common. However, such a method is often troublesome every day because it is performed manually, and there is a problem when water cannot be supplied for a long time due to absence. Recently, several techniques for supplying water to potted plants have been disclosed. That is, pass a wire through a hollow cotton thread string through a vinyl hose, and expose a wire through a hollow cotton string string from one end of the hose. It is disclosed that water is supplied from a water supply tank having a high water surface to a flower pot and supplied to the flower pot through the hose (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a water tank 7 is placed near the pot, and the water tank 3 is connected to the pot part water tank. A bent portion 33 is provided at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the water tank 3 so that a step and an angle between the pot portion and the water tank can be adjusted flexibly and easily. A technique is disclosed in which a water supply cloth A is inserted into a water supply pipe and water is supplied by a capillary phenomenon (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Furthermore, it comprises a water tank, an arbitrary length hose extending from the upper part of the water tank, a capillary tube communicating with the inside of the hose, and an air opening opened in a part of the hose. An automatic water supply device for a flowerpot characterized by reaching the bottom of a tank is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3).
